Republican Nominee Roy Moore maintains the lead in a new poll on Alabama’s Senate race.

“He's conservative,” said Deupree. “He's republican....I'm not saying it's okay. I'm just saying other people have gotten away with it and done it before such as the Clintons.”

But Doug Jones and his supporters criticize Moore's actions.

“This was all about a personal agenda,” Jones told ABC 33/40. “It was nothing about the people of the state of Alabama and I think folks will see that and respond to it.”

Jones hopes voters take a deeper look at the issues.

“I think people who have seen our records and compared our records, I think it's going to be important to a number of people, but we are also focused on making sure people focus on the issues,” said Jones.
